Letting Go of Perfectionism in Goal-Setting with Betsaida Lebron

Goal-setting can bring out the perfectionist in many of us. 

When our goals don’t account for our imperfect humanity, it leads to burnout and feeling like a failure. Getting stuck in the mentality that there is one course of action or one right way to do things doesn’t honor what we learn and experience along the way, even when things don’t go to plan.

Betsaida Lebron joins Erica to discuss setting J.A.N.K.Y goals that allow for imperfection, changing course, and getting outside of your comfort zone to make real change.

In this discussion:

• How improv and play can help you manage fear and get outside your comfort zone
• Setting goals that account for your humanity and capacity
• How perfectionism in goal-setting holds us back
• Why changing course doesn’t mean starting over
• How making sure your goals are aligned with your values helps you shape real change

We’ve been conditioned to show up to work as our “professional” self and leave our personal beliefs behind. But the truth is, values inform every area of our life, so why try to compartmentalize?

Each month in The Pause on the Play® Community we explore one specific way to make your values more explicit. Our curated connections and learning experiences will help you challenge harmful norms, show up as an imperfect ally®, and live in alignment.
